When you're condemned by a weirdo who is literally a member of a religious cult that denies the Trinity and insists people ought not eat bacon, I consider it an honor to be called "disgusting" by such an individual!

You do know the Messiah Himself obeyed the laws of kashruth? So much for emulating His way, as evidently you don't care about what He thought was important:

Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. The Greek word for "iniquity" is from the root nomos, meaning "law." Literally, it means "ye that work lawlessness." The 'will of the Father' is in His Word: the Torah, the LAW of Moses, which you disparage.

Matthew 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

So although one is saved by grace, obedience to the Mosaic Law would appear to be the standard of Judgment. So whether you agree or not, I do suggest you refrain from disparaging it.

Are you seriously another Hebrew roots weirdo? God help me, they're crawling all over the place! FYI:

"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer." (1Ti 4:1-5)

So although one is saved by grace, obedience to the Mosaic Law

FYI, this was settled by the Apostles in Acts 15, standing up to the believing Pharisees who demanded that men be "circumcised and keep the law of Moses."

I believe Christ fulfilled all of the law and Torah on our behalf.
